Palestinian Suicide Bomber Caught on Way to Jerusalem

(Yediot Ahronot-Hebrew) IDF forces in Ramallah caught a potential suicide bomber Thursday night who was on his way to Jerusalem with an explosive belt weighing nearly 10 kilograms. The belt was found in a garbage can on the roof of a building next to the Ramallah central bus station. (Jerusalem Post) Security sources said that as of Friday, they had 38 warnings of future terror attacks. They noted that the absence of a security fence north of Jerusalem helps the terrorists in finding a way to reach the city for an attack. Since the security fence in Samaria is nearly complete, the terrorists move from Samaria to Ramallah and from there to Kfar Aram just north of Jerusalem, the sources said. Once there, it is easier for them to integrate with the local population and enter Jerusalem. Security sources emphasized that the bomber captured was from the Tanzim faction in Nablus. The IDF has captured 19 explosive belts prepared in Nablus since January.
